The Beast Power Now Rising in Europe Will Shock the Entire World!!!
We are now looking for the tenth and last resurrection of the Roman Empire – the seventh head of this Beast of the 17th chapter of Revelation (Rev. 17:12), which is also pictured by the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of Daniel 2:40-44. Since these toes were on the two feet that represented Eastern and Western Europe, there is strong likelihood that this final resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire will include Iron Curtain nations of Eastern Europe as well as nations in Western Europe... They will form a third gigantic world power probably as great or even greater than the U.S.S.R. or United States of America...
-- Herbert W Armstrong, "Are We in the Last Days?", The Plain Truth, 1986-03 issue.
Note:
The year 2026 in relation to Mr. Armstrong is significant in the fact that it was 100 years ago that Mr. Armstrong began studying the Bible. And also in the year 2026 it has been 40 years since the death of Mr. Armstrong. The Bible shows that the periods 100 and 40 years are used for trying/testing humans and if you still believe what he taught you know what the last 40 years have been like and the church as a whole since Mr. Armstrong started receiving truth we still hold fast to today has been through 100 years of trying/testing.
1926:
",,,But who can understand the Bible? I certainly never had understood it. And even if one does, can one believe the Bible? Does it speak with any authority? That question puzzled me and is the mystery to be cleared up in this volume [Mystery of the Ages] . How I came to understand began at age 34, in the year of 1926. But it only began there. The final crystal-clear reason that impelled me to write this book did not fully reveal itself to my mind until December of 1984. It was a mind-boggling realization—a pivotal truth—that will be made clear in this book. The beginning of opening my mind to the truth covered in this book began in the summer of 1926..."

1986:
"Dear Brethren and Co-Workers with Christ,
I am deeply saddened to have to inform you that Herbert W. Armstrong's illness has ended in the manner least expected by all of us. Mr. Armstrong died peacefully in his sleep at 5:59 this morning while resting in the favorite chair of his late wife Mrs. Loma Armstrong..."
